Plate Characteristics for 6158 dual triode

[Captn Dave]

I've been search without success for plate characteristics plots for the 6158 aka 13D3.

TDSL doesn't have a link and my RCA and Sylvania manuals have nothing. All I've really learned is that there is 6158 miles of coastline in Scotland.

Does anyone have one?

Thanks

Yes it does, thank you Ray.

A guy gave me a sleeve of them but they don't look very linear, judging by that curve.

I find it amusing that the datasheet says: "Trustworthy Double Triode"

It really is a lovely valve , I use this type in my 'beercan' amp driving A2293 🙂 I rate these along with E80CC and 12AY7 as the nicest sounding 9 pinners that fit the 12A*7 pinout . If the valve has the 'T' for Trustworthy logo it's probably going to be the CV4068 special quality version , early types had the double getter support in keeping with the Mullard/Brimar/GEC tradition with ruggedised valves . As far as I can tell , like the 6BR7 , Brimar was the only manufacturer of these
